on behalf of the president of united states. if we look since september 11, when we had an attack in been gauze to come on that particular day, we have the attack on our embassy in cairo. mitt romney put out a statement saying he did not like the tweets our government was sending out being sympathetic to the rioters. the media jumped on that and said mitt romney is exploiting this for personal gain. the whole controversy was about mitt romney and i think it was kind of funny that they would suggest that he is politicizing this. no, what happened is he had a press conference and we heard off-camera that everyone will ask him if he is going to apologize. when you have that court nation where they are saying let's ask the same question, we are not getting journalism. we're not serving the public. we are all serving to make sure that mitt romney punished. for questioning the president of the united states. the problem we have had over the last couple weeks on this particular issue is that our news media is covering barack obama but
